Tried this out yesterday and it turned out very well.We enjoyed it with plain parathas.Of course a quick recipe which can be easily made in a microwave. I tried this out by seeing the cookbook of Tarlaji "Microwave Subzis part 2'which I had received as prize in one of the contests and then I thought of reviewing.Thanks to Tarlaji for this yummy subzi.
